About this film
This episode follows an attempt to make the most of an unplanned week away from work by setting off on the Trans Northern Trail. The focus is practical trail travel: seeing how much off-road riding is manageable with a packed motorcycle, rather than travelling light. As the third day in the series, the film continues an ongoing journey and stays close to the day’s obstacles. The 25-minute film centres on the changing demands of the route and the rider’s response to them.
The journey
On this day, the river crossings are larger than those encountered earlier. One prompts a recollection of a previous crossing in which the rider nearly drowned the motorcycle, bringing added significance to the challenge without changing the episode’s forward progress. Gates also feature repeatedly along the trail, becoming a source of mounting frustration. Together, the crossings and gates shape a ride that tests both the loaded bike’s off-road capability and the patience needed to keep moving through the route. The film is a trail-level account of a single day within the Trans Northern Trail journey, with the emphasis on riding conditions and the small hurdles that accumulate along the way.
